“Eating out” is out, “ordering in” is in. In this new convenience economy, the restaurant industry is learning to cope with this change with a host of startups providing new ways of delivering food to customers on demand. Investment has predictably followed: startup analytics firm Traxcan showed that 31 food-tech startups in India have raised over $160 million in 2015, compared to $67 million in 2014. Moreover, just in the first 15 days of 2016, one firm raised $35 million funding. Money is definitely pouring into the sector despite whispers about unprofitability and a few recent shutdowns and perhaps, a slowdown in investments that might follow.

Global Food Delivery Business-RECENT ENTRANTS
Uber Eats
Amazon
To date, Uber Eats has launched in 33 cities in six countries, 27 of which are in the United States, where it first began testing food delivery two years ago,
Since launching in London in June, Uber has promised to cut delivery times to within a 30-minute window, with no minimum order size or extra delivery fees.
Amazon has also entered the European Market.
Uber and Amazon have deep pockets and a vast customer base around the globe. Will they be able to make a dent by capturing market share from established pure delivery players?
Logistics efficiency and technology superiority of both companies can be a competitive advantage.
DARK CLOUDS
Meanwhile, smaller players - Belgium's Take Eat Easy, delivering in 20 European cities, and London-based Pronto, which cooked meals as well as delivered them - have shut down in recent months, as the rush of funding that created dozens of start-ups modelled on Uber in recent years has dwindled.

Global Food Delivery Business- CONCLUSION
Source: by Naypong
The food delivery business is not slowing down any time soon. Smartphone explosion, technology and data analytics are the catalyst for growth.
The following are three key success factors in Food delivery business.
1. Variety of Cuisine
2. Variety of Price
3. Delivery Experience
The business is volume based and margins are thin. The operators should have as many restaurants as possible under their belt. The consolidation, merger and small scale operators exiting business will be the future trend. VC investments may slowdown.
There are non-technology driven eateries and restaurants in India delivering food to the customers even without an APP.
